Copper cookware! Especially at flea market prices. I bought a DeHillerin au gratin pan today and it is beautiful. It's a very heavy hammered copper pan with brass handles and it's marked E DeHillerin Paris Made in France. The tinning looks new though the pan looks old. It will polish up like a dream.
Also found an old Amaerican made pot and lid which was forged on Wooster Street in Manhattan. This one needs retinning but it is the heaviest copper I have ever encountered. Will be redone somewhere. Just lovely and if it has lasted this long (the shop went out duing the depression)it should last forever. Grand, huh?
Chinese filigree jewelry. I don't see a lot of this and I don't know the value but bought some today; a gorgeous butterfly set with turquoise and coral and an enameled rectangular brooch set with a carved white piece of jade or some sort of stone. These should be fun to wear and fun to research and I did not buy them for their weight. They're just pretty and maximalism does not have to be utilitarian. No, no no!
